Explosion Proof Hazardous Area Splitters & Power Distribution Units

Explosion proof hazardous area splitter box and power distribution unit

ATEX and IECEx certified splitter boxes and power distribution units for safe power distribution in explosive atmospheres. These units allow multiple portable lighting circuits to be safely split from a single power source, making them essential for large-scale shutdown and turnaround operations in Zone 1 and Zone 2 classified areas across oil and gas, refinery, petrochemical, and offshore facilities in the GCC and India.

Where They Are Used

✓Centralised power distribution for large portable lighting strings during refinery shutdowns
✓Splitting a single transformer output to multiple work zones during turnaround campaigns
✓Offshore platform maintenance where multiple lighting circuits must be powered from a single safe feed
✓Tank farm and storage area inspection lighting where multiple zones require illumination
✓EPC construction and commissioning in classified hazardous areas requiring distributed lighting power

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The ATEX and IECEx certified splitter boxes and power distribution units supplied by AJV Tech are rated for Zone 1 and Zone 2 gas-classified hazardous areas. They meet the IEC 60079 series and ATEX Category 2 requirements, making them suitable for refineries, offshore platforms, and petrochemical facilities across the GCC and India.

Hazardous area splitter boxes are available in multiple output configurations, typically providing 4, 6, or 8 outlet points from a single power input. This allows one transformer feed to supply multiple portable lighting strings across a work area during a shutdown or turnaround operation. AJV Tech can advise on the correct unit for your lighting quantity and layout.

The explosion proof splitter boxes supplied by AJV Tech carry a minimum IP65 rating, with IP66-rated versions available for more exposed outdoor environments. This ensures they can be deployed in outdoor refinery and tank farm environments during UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar shutdowns without risk of ingress from dust or water jets.

Hazardous area power distribution units can generally be used with any portable lighting or power equipment that uses compatible IEC 60309 connectors and operates within the electrical ratings of the unit. AJV Tech can confirm compatibility with specific equipment brands and models before supply.

Yes. All explosion proof splitter boxes and distribution units are supplied with full ATEX and IECEx certification documentation, including certificates, declarations of conformity, datasheets, and installation manuals. This documentation meets the requirements for technical submittals to ADNOC, Saudi Aramco, QatarEnergy, ONGC, and other GCC and India operators.
